Labyrinth Rivarintos (3)
Soo Woong!
It was then that they heard the sound of breaking the wind.
Boongs!
"Big… Axe?"
A huge ax was lodged in Cheon Min Guk's head.
It was a piece of metal that could be 2m long... … There was nothing to check on him.
He dies instantly
'Are you coming at last?'
Jinhyuk took a stance.
"Mo, it's a monster! It's more than a medium-sized class!"
"Damn it. At a time like this!"
The rest of the people reacted a little too late.
Some pulled out crude-looking weapons.
These were cheap items they bought at the store with the first 100 coins they received.
sure.
You won't be able to scratch it with this alone.
Among the relics, only a few special Noble Phantasms could pierce its skin.
pounding! pounding!
Their heart was beating fast.
Nerves all over the body were jolted.
At the same time.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
Something approached from the end of the dark passageway.
It comes.
And at a very fast pace too.
"Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
After a while, a 2m tall monster appeared.
A spirit creature with a cow's head and a human body.
Minotaur.
This guy is the only monster that roams this labyrinth.
"Woah, whoa, whoa!"
"What is that!"
"What the hell happened to the labyrinth, here! It's on the first floor. The first floor!"
In a situation that quickly turned into chaos.
Boo woo woo!
The minotaur swung the huge ax in his hand.
kwaaang!
One blow left a huge scar on the rock.
The wall collapsed, and a cloud of smoke rose.
Even if it was brushed, the fragile human flesh would surely become a rag.
But right then.
Fushhk!
Jinhyuk ran forward.
Exactly in front of the Minotaur.
"Koooh!"
As it saw the little creatures attacking it with their bare hands offended him?
The Minotaur grabbed the ax with both hands.
and lifted it high.
An attack that aims the top of the head... …
Jinhyuk turned slightly to avoid it.
Awwk!
The pitiful ground was shattered.
And that moment.
[The attack is evaded.]
[The stat 'Gap' has increased by 0.05.]
Two lines of status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk.
'Good!'
Jinhyuk swallowed cheers inwardly.
-If you dodge the Minotaur's attack, you can acquire the hidden stat 'Gap'. However, this reward is limited to selecting this labyrinth as the first hunting ground after entering the tower.
'gap'.
It is a stat that narrows the gap in battles with the strength with an extreme level difference and widens the gap even more in battles with the weak.
T-tiring!
[Details]
When fighting an enemy stronger than you, it closes the level gap by 1 for every 3 points.
When fighting an enemy weaker than you, it widens the level gap by 1 for every 2 points.
The way to grow of a level 1 state.
This is the only way I've found out after countless trials and errors.
The start is only 0.05, but... ….
'No need to rush.'
'Cause it's just the beginning
Do you want to pray blindly to escape while walking wherever you go?
well. That sounds like a bad option.
"You mean you know the exit?"
"As I said, I know this labyrinth better than anyone. Of course, I know the exit."
"Okay. Then we'll go together... hoo. We will go. There's no other way."
"Well, it doesn't matter if we go together."
Jinhyuk muttered his words.
Then, Hye-min Lee asked, seemingly anxious.
"but……?"
Why do these players do this?
"You can't come freely."
"Yes?"
"Where in the world is giving free service? At least, you need to vomit out all the coins you have, I suppose."
To put it simply,
It means that if you want to ride a full-blown bus, give out everything you have.
＊＊＊
[Coins held: 500]
The coin obtained from the starting point and the coins received from the four people were combined to make 500 coins.
It was not enough to buy a useful weapon or armor.
Does not matter.
This is because I was able to purchase the items I wanted.
"Don't stand there like a king. Do what everyone has to do. You have to pluck moss and make a bed. You have to get some firewood to make a fire. There's a lot of work to do."
"all right."
"You can go. If you don't want to do."
"Whoa."
A deep sigh was heard.
They came here dreaming of hitting the jackpot, and then they lost everything.
They can't even predict their life, so they have no choice but to do so.
But they don't infer.
The fact that this will not change their fate anyway.
When everyone was away, Jinhyuk activated the exchange.
[I am paying to the coin exchange.]
A huge status window appeared with a short message.
A place where you can buy and sell hundreds of thousands of items.
A land of opportunity, full of jewels in the mud and gold that is only a dream.
This is the 'coin exchange'.
Jinhyuk glanced through the list.
[['Ancient Degosian's Tooth (SS)']
- 395,250,700 coins]
[['Mythical beast Feather (S)']
- 188,187,000 coins]
[['Sacred Relic Dangun King Sword's Spirit (S)']
- 159,155,300 coins]
From items that make your eyes enchanted just by looking at them.
[['Worn Small Stone (F)']
- 1 coin]
Even items that are practically trash.
That is, there were various items.
However.
'It's no use looking at this for a hundred days.'
You can't even buy it right away, so it's a waste of time to shopping for kids.
Without hesitation, Jinhyuk scrolled down the category the most bottom.
Under.
further down.
What he wanted was gathered at the bottom.
'With this... … this. And this too.'
Jinhyuk quickly bought the items he wanted.
[['Tarot Card with Shamanism (F)']
- 70 Coins]
[['Old worn out bronze key fragment (F)']
- 80 Coins]
[['Wagon wheel fragment made of wood (E)']
- 300 Coins]
['Lotto Enhancement Book (F)' × 10 - 1 coin per sheet]
4 types in all.
It was all garbage, but Jinhyuk smiled as if satisfied.
Individual items are not important.
What matters is how you use them.
"I will combine three items."
[In case of the wrong combination, all items will be destroyed.]
"Okay, so go ahead."
Jinhyuk nodded his head.
OK.
[Combines 3 items.]
[Successful in synthesis!]
As if to celebrate success, a dazzling haze erupted.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
His heart started beating fast.
'It's a success.'
Looking at the item that appeared in front of him, Jinhyuk was convinced.
In Meantime
[All the time I played Tower of Trials was never wasted.]
Jinhyuk avoided the cooking ax.
Boo Woong!
kwaang!
The ax shredded the wall along with the terrifying strife.
Debris splattered in all directions.
It was a dangerous tug-of-war where even one small mistake could lead to death.
Jinhyuk didn't blink.
There is no mistake.
'Because I'm stagnant.'
'Because I survived a much more dangerous situation than this.'
And.
Because I enjoyed the whole process.
bang! kwaang! kwaaang!
The storm-like attack was dodged by a single sheet of paper.
"Hey, it's a monster."
"Oh my gosh..."
"Wow, were we trying to touch a bastard like that?"
It was a familiar pattern to Jinhyuk, but it just made their mouths wide open in the eyes of those who saw them for the first time.
yea that's the way it is
It's an absurd movement to see simply as a reflex.
The result of learning down to the bone through terribly repeated memorization.
Therefore, it was an area closer to foreknowledge rather than prediction.
'I'm crazy.
Hana Park swallowed dry saliva.
Did I ever think of killing this person he is beyond my imagination and taking away his reward?'
Isn't it like pouring oil all over your body and jumping into the flames?
＊＊＊
"Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
The minotaur, who had been drenched in adrenaline, raged even more violently.
kwaaang!
kwaang!
The ax passed through Jinhyuk's neck.
[The fatal attack was very narrowly evaded!]
[Stat 'Gap' has increased by 1.]
Avoiding dangerous attacks gives more stats.
It means high-risk high return.
Jinhyuk wipes a drop of blood from the nape of his neck with his finger.
'After all, I have to do this to get the maximum stats.'
He deliberately set the timing to the extreme.
If he hands over a layer of skin and gets 1 stat point instead, it's not a bad exchange.
If he uses it frequently, it will be dangerous due to excessive bleeding.
So a few minutes passed.
"Whoa. Huh. Heh."
Jinhyuk's breathing became sharp and he could feel his stamina dropping.
Muscle fatigue also began to build up.
'I'll have to finish the first fight soon.'
The time to get stats was widespread.
For a month before escaping the labyrinth, he was planning to extract 100 stats.
Jinhyuk glanced at his back.
While facing the Minotaur, he saw a group of people trying to sneak away.
'Look at this? Are the supporting actors trying to leave on their own accord?'
that can't be allowed
I am the one who decides when, where and how you live and die.
'More than anything else, they are the ones that don't know how to escape?'
Jinhyuk secretly widened the distance from the Minotaurs and flew towards the party.
"If you want to get stats, please join me."
"……Yes?"
Park Hana opened her rabbit eyes.
"If you dodge the guy's attack, it gives you a Hidden stat. It's easier than it looks. Try it."
Usually, good things are not shared, but this time is an exception.
With a kind and good heart, there should be only one exception.
"……"
At those words, Park Hana's face was distorted.
